[Saving Technique] for Lowering Wedding Costs #1 ♡ Bringing Items

If you leave the venue’s decorations and performances entirely up to them, costs can quickly escalate! Therefore, to avoid being shocked by the estimate, please make good use of 【bringing in】 wedding items♡

Since the fees and regulations for bringing in items vary by venue, it is essential to thoroughly inquire with your coordinator ≪before you sign the formal contract!≫ Some places may even waive or reduce the fee if it's before the contract is finalized! Let’s resolve any concerns before deciding on the main venue♡

[Saving Technique] for Lowering Wedding Costs #2 ♡ DIY

One must-do for a bride's DIY is creating paper items, such as invitations and seating charts! The more guests you have, the more challenging it becomes, but if you ask the venue or company, it can cost around 500 yen per piece…! So, I recommend using free websites to create cute designs yourself♡

[Saving Technique] for Lowering Wedding Costs #3 ♡ Choosing Dates

It’s traditionally said that auspicious days are best for weddings! However, for couples who aren't too concerned about these superstitions, why not aim for days like "Butsumetsu" or "Shakkou" among the Rokuyou? Many venues offer discounts and perks for such dates♡

Additionally, venues are said to offer lower prices during the off-peak season, like the dead of winter during the year-end/New Year holidays, mid-August in summer, and the rainy season♡ The same applies to plans that start the ceremony in the evening. Let’s consider the attending guests while choosing the wedding date!

[Saving Technique] for Lowering Wedding Costs #4 ♡ Photography and Videography

The profile movie shown during the reception can cost several tens of thousands of yen if done by a professional company. Instead, it’s significantly cheaper to create it ourselves or ask a tech-savvy friend to help! On the day of the ceremony, having a photography-loving friend take pictures is also a great option♡

[Saving Technique] for Lowering Wedding Costs #5 ♡ Pre-shooting

Having a professional photographer take wedding photos before the ceremony is wonderful, but it can be budget-heavy and there’s often a limit on time and the number of shots...＞＜ How about preparing a camera and tripod to do a self-photo shoot instead? It’ll become a cherished memory, and more importantly, it’s great to allocate those savings for the wedding itself!
